5. Andrew Lawrence to Joey Lawrence in Horse Sense – Disney Channel Original Movie – November 20, 1999 So fine, Andrew Lawrence doesn’t actually utter “You’re not my father,” but the meaning is all the same AND I’ve been dying to mention Horse Sense since this blog’s inception. In a classic diluted-rich-kid-learns-the-meaning-of-hard-work SLASH hardworking-poor-people-are-about-to-lose-the-family-ranch plot, little [...]

by Judi In “the biz” (ugh, I hate me too) we call this “synergy.” Basically, what it boils down to is a scene between the studio head, the executive producer of a TV show and the guy at the record label. They all talk and laugh and order shrimp and then they discuss ways where [...]

by Judi 5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer- “Halloween” (1997) I mean, it’s a no-brainer that if you have a show about vampires and werewolves and witches, Halloween would be a pretty big deal. And Season 2′s “Halloween” is especially fun, if only for the premise of “what if you actually turned into your costume?” In [...]

The Wardrobe Department of a television series has an Important Job. After all, “clothes make the man.” In this case, they could very well make the character. The character’s outfits provide us with an immediate impression of the person behind the clothes. Sometimes, that is a very, very, bad, seriously, oh my God, so bad [...]

by Judi Here’s a question before we begin. Why didn’t some enterprising genius ever figure out a way to create actual restaurants based on these iconic TV hangouts? Do you even KNOW how much money would’ve been made from situating a real Peach Pit in Beverly Hills in the ’90s? SCADS OF MONEY, YES. I [...]

by Beal 5. Mark Addy as Bill Miller in Still Standing (2002 – 2006) Judi might actually disown me for finally admitting IN PRINT that I actually enjoy this show TO A DEGREE! (Judi’s note: Oh, my God) I admit that it doesn’t provide the greatest television experience of my life, but it’s entertaining, sort [...]

by Judi Show: Beverly Hills 90210 Character: Brenda Walsh Played By None Other Than: Shannon Doherty In a Nutshell: Oh, BRENDA. Brenda and Brandon Walsh, twins, move from Minnesota to Beverly Hills when their father (who must be an accountant for the mob or something because this is seriously a huge step up) gets a [...]

5. Monica on Friends “The One Where Monica Sings” (2003) Alright so technically Monica doesn’t have to sing, but I’m still keeping this on my list, for several reasons. The first being Paul Rudd as Phoebe’s boyfriend, Mike, who works at the piano bar where Monica chooses to perform a little ditty. He’s hilarious and as [...]

by Judi Oh, CALAMITY. I will admit to being one of those faithful viewers who gets all the giddy at the prospect of a Very Special Episode, especially when that Very Special Episode involves words like “murder, shooting, stabbing, rape and betrayal.” You know, the kinds of cheery topics that just scream sitcom. If we’re [...]

by Beal 5. Desperate Housewives - Bree’s Pretend Pregnancy – Season 4 (2007) Choosing which plot line on Desperate Housewives is the most ludicrous is like trying to decide which former child star is the most fucked up: They’re all strong contenders. Still time and time again the Van de Kamp family sets themselves apart from the usual ridiculousness [...]
